Comparison of cabling systems

Single cable vs. multi cable
Single cables –
complex installation and cannot be reused
It is not just installing new cables that is difficult and time-
consuming, but also removing the old cables. The only options
are either to cut them out or simply leave them where they are.
This means that there is no practical way of reusing them and
they are not recycled.
The disorganised way in which the cables are installed obstructs

the flow of cooling air. Only a higher volumetric flow rate and/or
a lower air temperature can help here. Both mean higher costs
and increased environmental impact.
Multi cables –
quick and clean installation and can be reused at any time
Pre-assembled multi cable solutions ensure a clean and clear
cabling layout in the raised floor. As well as making installation
easier and therefore quicker, this also helps to improve cooling
air circulation.
Cables and components are free of hazardous substances.
The low volume of the installed multi cables guarantees an

unobstructed flow of cooling air and therefore uses less energy.
